Provide information about good
birding places:
The "Utah Birds" website lists about 300 places
to bird in the 29 counties of Utah.
Unfortunately, many of these birding places have little information about what
birds you might expect to find there, how best to bird the area, etc. If
you would like to add any information you might have about these birding places
or if you have a favorite bird location that isn't on the list, you can fill out
a website form and share
this information with other interested birders.
Send in bird photos:
The "Utah Birds" website has received hundreds of photos of over 330 bird
species from about 40 different photographers. The photos are
displayed in the "Photo Gallery" and
in the "Utah Bird Profiles." Some of the
more outstanding photos are listed on the "Photos
of the Month" page and some of the rare or difficult to photograph birds are
listed on the "Most Wanted Bird
Photos" page. If you would like to send in some of your bird photos,
just send an e-mail with
your name, date and place that the photo was taken and attach the photo in a
".jpg" or ".gif" format. If you have questions, please send them to:
records@utahbirds.org. (the same
address)
Report mistakes or give suggestions:
This website has evolved over several year. There are over 7,000 files
associated with this website and more are being added all the time. If you
see mistakes or have suggestions on how the website can be improved, we would
welcome your comments and suggestions.
Report bird sightings:
If you happen to see a rare bird (a list
of "review species" is on the committee page), please fill out a
sighting form and send it electronically
to the
Utah Bird Records Committee. The Records
Committee is in charge of keeping records of rare bird sightings and
updating the official bird checklist for Utah. The committee will evaluate
the record to see whether it is an acceptable sighting for the
official records of Utah. The
records now under review are posted on the
"Utah Birds" website as well as an archives of past records submitted on-line.
A fairly complete listing of
accepted rare bird sightings is also kept on the website.
